On the one hand I love to shop online because its easy to comparison shop and you avoid all the crowds and lines. And you can shop in your pajamas. But you also miss out on the window displays, mall decorations, and salvation...

tthom64 It is hard to believe in the Christmas spirit when they start the commercialism before Halloween is even over LOL.

tthom64 I'm with you, its just too much of a hassle anymore. It seems more crowded than when I was a kid. I did all my shopping online this year.

I've kind of found it interesting that over the past few days, so much attention is still focused on Sarah Palin. No one is talking about "what's next for McCain" but Palin seems to be almost getting equal time with Obama? No...

tthom64 I will be eager to see what she can do in the next few years. I want to see her be the reformer she has been in Alaska.

tthom64 True of human nature I suppose. Everyone want to knock off the King of the Hill. The world has gone much too global, I'm afraid, for anyone to be isolationist. Our economys are too intertwined - as proven by this now global economic crisis. It sure didn't take...

Hello folks, i'm reading lot of post that warnings about the "communism/socialism risk" with Obama. Also someone in the congress talked about that. Do you really guess it could happens? Are you really worried about that? I'm...

tthom64 One of the problems with that argument is that everyone always thinks "rich" is anyone who makes more than them. Who really gets to determine how "rich" someone should be. And no, just taxing them a little more doesn't make them poor, but taxing them a little...

I love, love, love musicals. I don't know if I could pick a favorite. The one I have liked the longest is Annie, I have loved it since I was a baby. I also love Rent, Phantom of the Opera and my new favorite is Mamsa Mia. I can't...

tthom64 Oh I'm so jealous. I would love to go to NY and see Wicked. How about Lion King? I haven't seen it, but it looks great. Should we add that to our list of great musicals?

tthom64 I agree. From a discussion standpoint, I would like the Republican party to move toward some of the ideas that Ron Paul espouses. Palin, though, either needs to go back to being Govenor or go to Washington and prove she can get something done. As for Ron...

tthom64 Oops, I hit the wrong button and added my response to this comment above. To reiiterate, maybe she just wants to keep Alaska and its energy plans in the forefront. Maybe national office isn't what's she's after.

tthom64 She keeps harping over and over again about allowing Alaska to 'give' its energy resources to the nation. Maybe that's all this was about anyway - a way for her to push energy to the forefront as Alaska would benefit greatly from increased national...

tthom64 Well, if she stays in the Republican party she better market herself as a reformer. I think she came out like that, but then the suits got a hold of her and she lost some of that message along the way.

tthom64 I hope they at least listen to some of Ron Paul's ideas. Lately, you can hardly tell a republican from a democrat, at least by their actions. The Republican party needs to get back to some conservative ideals, not so much socially, but fiscally and...

tthom64 Thanks, it does help to hear from someone with experience. And bless your mom, what a courageous thing to do. The one thing we have going for us is that there is always a parent home and he is rarely out of our site. Except school of course, that would be the...

tthom64 Well, I appreciate your perspective. I'd like to think you are right, so maybe I'll stop biting my nails now. I do have good kids, though that's not always a guarantee anymore. I'm just afraid by the time I find out, it will be too late. Thanks for the words -...

tthom64 I'm with you. I wish I had come out of high school with more practical education in politics, finances, and car mechanics (LOL) and less algebra. Should we as parents be more responsible for teaching our kids about such things though, rather than the school...

tthom64 I'm impressed. I too have a teenager that thinks about it and 'gets' it. However, I think you are in the minority. Maybe education, not age, is the key - for all of us, not just the youth.
